Given:

Set A = integers greater than -14 and less than -5.

B = {h, i, s, x, z}.

Let's solve for the following:

• (a). Find the cardinalities of A and B

Since set A is the set of integers greater than -14 and less than -5, the set A will be:

A = {-13, -12, -11, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6}

B = {h, i, s, x, z}

In set A there are 8 elements

In set B there are 5 elements

The cardinality of a set is the number of elements in the set.

Therefore, the cardinalities of A and B are:

n(A) = 8

n(B) = 5.

• (b)., Select true or false.

• -12 ∈ A ==> This is ,True ,since -12 is an element in set A.

• -21 ∈ A ==> This is ,False ,since -21 is not an element in set A.

• s ∈ B ==> This is ,True ,since s is an element in set B.

• m ∉ B ==> This is ,True ,since m is not an element in set B.

ANSWER:

(a). n(A) = 8

n(B) = 5

(b). -12 ∈ A ==> True

-21 ∈ A ==> False

s ∈ B ==> True

m ∉ A ==> True

Let sets A and B be defined as follows.A is the set of integers greater than -14 and-example-1
